A new antenna type is described which combines the low noise temperature characteristics of the horn-reflector antenna with the more attractive mechanical features associated with the paraboloidal reflector. Cassegrain optics used in an off-set feed configuration enables a virtual source to be formed without sub-reflector blockage. An extremely compact structure is realized with a concave hyperboloid which mirrors the actual feed located on the paraboloidal surface. Except for the aperture, the antenna is completely shielded. The design approach is outlined and measurements on an experimental model are presented. Ground noise contribution from minor lobes is about2\degK.

An user-oriented computer software consisting of three modeling codes, named DRAD, DRAA and FDPAT, is introduced. It can be used to design three types of Cassegrain system: classical, with shaped subreflector and with dual shaped reflectors, and to analyse radiation patterns for the antennas. Severa...

In this paper, by change of integration path in complex spectrum domain and by defining input admittance as the ratio of complex radiated power to amplitude of square of voltage across the gap, new expressions of admittance (valid for all frequencies) of infinitely long cylindrical antenna with and ...

Control of aggregation, by lowering temperature and protein concentrations, can enhance the extent of successful refolding. The low temperature has been used in protein folding studies, as undesired aggregations often occur at higher temperatures. Therefore, it is very important to study the effects...

The tapered slot antenna, such as Vivaldi, has been widely used due to its ultra-wideband, high gain, simple feed structure, and easy fabrication. However, there is no rigorous analytical theory for this type of antenna. This paper analyzed the metal parts of a tapered slot antenna in a conical coor...

This paper gives an efficient approach to reconstruct moving multiple objects (multi-object). Each object has independently rigid motion which includes translation and rotation. The traditional FBP algorithm can resolve the one-object motion problem rather well. However, it suffers from perceptible ...
